For gconf, you should never directly access the information in $HOME/.gconf*, 
because generally it may be different from the values which are "live" in the 
gconf daemon. Some values may have been altered in gconfd's memory, but not 
yet be written back to disk.

As far as I can see from gconftool-2 --help, the correct way to backup the 
configuration should be using "gconftool-2 --dump / > gconf_dump.xml" 
and "gconftool-2 --load gconf_dump.xml". Completely untested and just 
guessing for the load part ...
